If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1269: Dare to hide a single word, and I’ll strangle you to death

Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269: Dare to hide a single word, and I’ll strangle you to death

"Give me a look, and you’ll understand!" Xu Chaomu gave him a glance.

"..." Shen Chi’s mouth twitched, his face covered in black lines.

After some fuss, Xu Chaomu still followed Shen Chi. The flowers in her hand were very fragrant, emitting a strong, overwhelming scent. The colors of the flowers were also beautiful, topped with sparkling dewdrops.

"Weren’t you going to say something to me?" Shen Chi wrapped his arm around her waist.

"It’s about Xiao Mo, if I tell you, then you should understand why I’ve been partial to him. Xiao Mo is truly a good friend," Xu Chaomu said.

"Stop beating around the bush, just say it."

"My dead child, have you ever doubted that it wasn’t mine?" Xu Chaomu spoke bluntly.

Shen Chi stopped in his tracks, his face darkening and deepening in color. He turned his head, those profound eyes like deep pool water looked toward her.

His face didn’t show any particular shock, but Xu Chaomu knew that his eyes had betrayed him.

"I’ve never thought about this question," Shen Chi frowned.

He really hadn’t. If it was Bai Man who caused Chaomu to deliver early, then why would she keep the child?

Additionally, the initial medical reports were authoritative; the child died due to premature birth, leading to various functional impairments.

"I hadn’t thought about it either..." Xu Chaomu said, holding her forehead, "but then you had Xiao Mo investigate this..."

"I did ask him to investigate, but he only found out that Bai Man had instructed the servant to drug the milk, leading to the child’s premature death," Shen Chi lowered his voice.

As he spoke, Shen Chi’s frown deepened.

Always clever, after hearing a couple sentences from Xu Chaomu, he had an epiphany.

Xiao Mo had kept it from him!

Good!

Shen Chi’s face grew uglier by the second, even... dark as the June sky, a storm about to break.

Although Xu Chaomu hadn’t said much, she knew that Shen Chi must have guessed it!

He’s so intelligent, always quick to catch on!

She quickly took hold of his arm, smiling, "I’m so thirsty, I want to drink a hot milk tea."

"Buy it yourself!" Shen Chi gave her a cold look.

That is to say, not only did Xiao Mo already know about this, Xu Chaomu did too!

Great, both of them had conspired to deceive him! Making him live in sorrow and self-blame!

During that time, he became much thinner, losing his appetite for food and drink. Often, when he thought of Xu Chaomu’s child, his heart would fill with self-reproach.

He hadn’t protected her and her child well, he wasn’t a qualified husband. No, he didn’t even deserve to be her husband!

But now! ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Suddenly, Shen Chi couldn’t quite express what he was feeling inside, a mix of shock, excitement, and joy...

Her child hadn’t died... Maybe the gap between them could be much lesser...

"Husband, it’s a queue, so many people, it’s so cold," Xu Chaomu coquettishly said, "I want to sit inside the shop, buy it for me!"

After speaking, Xu Chaomu shook off Shen Chi’s hand, and dashed toward the milk tea shop.

She had barely said a few words before she felt the murderous aura emanating from Shen Chi.

If she continued to be alone with him, she feared... the outcome would be dire!

Better head to a crowded place sooner.

She ran with all her might, darting into the milk tea shop and found a seat by the window, with a clear view of Shen Chi’s every move.

As expected, the man’s deep eyes were as cold as ice cubes, his hand gripping the umbrella tightly, his knuckles well defined. As for his gaze, it was truly like that of the Grim Reaper.

He gave the direction she’d run off in a cold glare before striding toward the milk tea shop.

Xu Chaomu wished she could shrink her head under the table but... with so many people around, he wouldn’t do anything to her, right?

There was no denying the man was clever, quickly deducing the ins and outs of the whole affair.

But still, he joined the long queue at the shop’s entrance to buy her milk tea.

When Xu Chaomu looked out, she caught his icy gaze and quickly lowered her head in fright.

His outstanding presence drew occasional sideways glances from the crowd.

He always hated crowded places, but for her, he made exceptions.

"Open it yourself and drink," Shen Chi said after the purchase, slapping it down on the table with a smack.

"Thank you, husband," Xu Chaomu hurriedly opened it, just like a little girl who had done something wrong.

"Why didn’t you buy one?" Xu Chaomu asked.

"I don’t like it."

"Do you really not like it?" Xu Chaomu pushed the milk tea towards him, insisting, "You take a sip first, I don’t mind."

"Take it away," Shen Chi refused to drink.

"So you’re disgusted by me?" Xu Chaomu’s face showed unhappiness. "If you don’t drink it, then you’re disgusted by me... I’m disgusted by you..."

With that, Xu Chaomu pretended to be very sad.

Shen Chi had no choice but to take a symbolic sip, frowning deeply, "It’s disgusting."

"Not at all, I think it’s very tasty, and, don’t you feel warm after drinking it? I love drinking milk tea in winter," Xu Chaomu took another sip.

"Stop talking nonsense," Shen Chi glanced at her.

"..." Xu Chaomu hurriedly drank her milk tea, not making a sound.

"When did you find out the child was still around?" Shen Chi stared intently at her.

Those sharp eyes seemed to freeze her to the core, making her tremble as she stammered, "Not long ago... I didn’t tell you because... because I hadn’t figured out how to... maybe... maybe you wouldn’t like the child..."

"How could you not know whether I’d like the child or not?!"

"Okay, now I know, don’t be angry, okay?"

"What do you mean, you know now? Haven’t I made it obvious enough?"

"..." Xu Chaomu pouted, as if he had swallowed gunpowder.

"Where’s Xiao Mo? Tell me the truth about what happened to the child. If you hide a single word, I’ll strangle you," Shen Chi glared at her.

"Can you... can you be nicer? I’m scared."

"Scared? Since when have you been afraid of me?!"

"Well, we have an agreement, after I tell you, you can’t blame me, and you can’t blame Xiao Mo either."

"Hmph," Shen Chi snorted disdainfully.

"Then have another sip," Xu Chaomu offered the milk tea to him again.

"I won’t drink," he was determined this time.

"Do you find me repulsive? If you do, it’s not a big deal; I’ll just get you another straw. You don’t even know how repulsive you are to me..."

Shen Chi’s anger almost led him to slam the table, "Xu Chaomu, will you cut it out?"

Having said that, he was forced to drink another sip, looking extremely reluctant.

He disgusted by her? How could he be disgusted by her when he just found the milk tea extremely vile!

Xu Chaomu was finally happy, and she repeated everything Xiao Mo had told her. In fact, the child had simply been tampered with by Dr. Li, smuggled out of the hospital, later to be sent to an orphanage.
